    The SEC’s Rule 10b-6: Preserving a Competitive Market During Distributions

    Get PDF
    The recent Georgia-Pacific litigation serves to reiterate the broad question posed by the Special Study of the Securities Markets concerning the precise limits of the Securities and Exchange Commission\u27s proscription of bidding and purchasing by interested persons during the course of a distribution. While the SEC has affirmed the need for clarification of some applications of the protean regulation, no definitive analysis has been forthcoming. In an attempt to ascertain the current view of the Commission with respect to enforcement of the prohibition and to isolate the more troublesome issues raised by the rule, this comment examines the background of the promulgation of rule 10b-6 as well as its major administrative and judicial interpretations

    Panel - Ethics in modern universities of technology:Challenges of the 21<sup>st</sup> century

    Get PDF
    The challenges of the 21st century will fully reflect on universities of technology. The world population is growing while we pursue higher levels of global well-being. The increasing energy demands and the resulting problems of climate change will be only two of the many major challenges humanity is facing in this century. Indeed, universities of technologies have an essential role to play in meeting these challenges by generating scientific knowledge, achieving technological breakthroughs and educating scientists and engineers to think and work for the public good. A forthcoming Special Issue of Science and Engineering Ethics [1] will address some of the ethical issues that arise for institutions of higher education in the field of engineering and applied science. Several contributors to this Special Issue are invited to discuss two main issues: namely i) academic industry collaborations and ii) teaching engineering ethics

    Laboratory Technical Supplement for the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT)

    Get PDF
    The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) User’s Manual (Mayer, Salovey & Caruso, 2002), published by MHS, provides a great deal of information about using the MSCEIT test. Since the publication of the MHS manual, additional issues have arisen within the test-user and research communities associated with the test. This brief technical document addresses two of those concerns. This laboratory technical supplement covers two topics that arise regarding the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test: how to calculate a split half reliability for the test, and how to develop and score the test using local norms (i.e., national or regional norms, or norms for special populations). The use of the split-half reliability estimate is important with the MSCEIT because our research indicates that coefficient alpha reliabilities underestimate the reliability of the test. An in-depth discussion of this issue will appear in a forthcoming set of papers in the journal Emotion. The development of national and specialized norms are important to interpreting test scores outside of general populations in North America, i.e., for translated versions of the scale and for English-language versions of the scale administered outside of North America, England, Australia, and South Africa (areas that are part of the original standardization sample

    Lessons of the Iran-contra Affair: Are They Being Taught?

    Get PDF
    The issues I am going to talk about today vary from the very straightforward to the somewhat complicated. One thing ties them together – my dismay at how little the fundamental constitutional issues of the Iran-contra affair seem to have been brought to the surface, either by the hearings, or by the commentary in the press, or even by the schools that led us to this affair in the first place. I want to talk about three issues which represent the failure of civics education in this country. The three questions are: 1) what is wrong with pursuing secret private funding for what are called special operations – that is, covert action operations; 2) what is wrong with pursuing a secret policy, such as our overtures to Iran; and 3) doesn\u27t the doctrine of plausible denial to some extent require that the president be shielded from being implicated in covert operations? On each of these issues Admiral Poindexter and Lt. Colonel North were admirably forthcoming. I am inclined to think this is because they sincerely saw nothing wrong. And they didn\u27t think that any fair-minded, non-politically motivated person would either
